variation in the business and these changes develop a various similarities and differences among
the various business group in the country. The following report is going to discuss the
similarities and differences between the various business group in the East Asia. In addition to
this, it has been also discussed that why eastern companies need to appreciate these similarities
and difference when considering investment in east Asia. The major objective of this report is to
understand the various principle, business system, structure, strategy, practices, and culture of
the different business enterprise in the East Asian countries. In addition to this, the following
report has effectively addressed the various company’s strategy in order to gain market success
and goodwill.
a) Critically discuss the similarities and differences between business groups across countries in
East Asia
In the Asia there are many ancient culture with diverse religions, belief and life philosophies.
Despite their many unique attributes, there are some broad similarities among these interesting
peoples that carry throughout the Asia region. In the different countries in the Asia, there are
various similarities and differences between the various business group. East Asia is the eastern
subregion of the Asian continents, which can be defined in either geographical culture terms.
East Asia is based on statistical conveniences but also other common definitions of east Asia
contain the entirely china. In the East Asia, various countries are included like china, Hong
Kong, Japan, Macau, Mongolia, north Korea etc. In these countries there are various high
quantity of similarities and differences (Javed, Jaffari and Rahim, 2014). For example, within
the last few years, European Asia experts have been stepping up cooperation on a more
institutionalised footing. Yet another leap forward in this kind of cooperation can be seen in the
establishment of the Asia committee of the European science foundation. This kind of European
approach provides opportunities and challenges for future research on Asia.
As per the given case study, in the Japan, there are very high performance motorcycles as
compare to the other nation. Motorcycle manufacturing also played an important role in Japan's
1

post war industrial reconstruction. Its motorcycle manufacturing was less capital intensive as
compared to auto mobile and truck production. Imported motorcycles had been capturing an
increasing share of the Japanese market and the slowing growth of the overall market had hit
domestic manufactures more than importers. Motorcycles were imported by subsidiaries of the
motorcycles manufactures, independent distributors and individuals. Foreign motorcycles
generally had to pass an initial inspection by the government transport bureau before they could
be registered and ridden in the Japan. Here, some of the smaller motorcycles could be registered
without physical inspection if identical models had previously been inspected and registered.
Foreign motorcycles in Japan were typically priced higher than in other developed countries and
higher compared to the equivalent models of Japanese manufactures as well. According to the
quality expectation, Japanese customers were renowned for their high expectation of product
quality. Before they could be delivered to the customer, even newly imported motorcycles had be
thoroughly checked and occasionally repaired by the manufacturer.
On the other hand another company in the east Asia is Canada Ltd which was the present
company of the new York fries. The company was founded in 1983 and it was recognised with
several awards over the year. NYF fries were made from real. They were hand cut band fried in
non hydrogenated , tras fat free , sunflower oil etc. Since the company was committed to using
the best available oil, the oil used was open to change. NYF was perverted as a franchise ,
franchise owners bought the right to operate NYF in different locations. NYF entered Hong
Kong in 2009 after Gould received two different unsolicited request to buy the rights for Hong
Kong in 2008 (Johansen, 2012).When the first Hong Kong franchise opened in 2009 the
franchises hoped to open 10 location in Hong Kong within the first five year and then expanded
to china since the group had the right to expand into Macau, china and Taiwan. In the view of
international market, NYF had experienced growing pains in some of the countries they had
entered over the year, notably Australia and south Korea.
As per the above discussion about the various countries, it has been founded that in the east Asia
countries, there are various similarities and differences among them related to the expansion of
business, company's background, franchise structure etc. For example, Sony have their own
strategy to compete with rival in the market and meet the expectation of customers. It have
largely invested capital in order to carry new innovation and technological advancement in the
business operation. Similar to this, another corporation like NYF in the Hong Kong have
2

adopted the new effective strategy to compete with rival so as it has taken an action to open the
new business in the 10 location of the Hong kong within the first five year and then expanded to
china since the group had the right to expand into Macau, china and Taiwan. In the view of
international market, NYF had experienced growing pains in some of the countries they had
entered over the year, notably Australia and south Korea. This is the very effective strategy of
this venture in orde to gain the success in the market. So it can be said that there are various
similarity and differences among the various companies of East Asia.
B) Critically discuss why executive from western companies need to appreciate these similarities
and difference when considering investment in east Asia
As per the above discussion it has been ascertained that there are various kinds of similarities and
differences among the countries of East Asia. For example, in the Japan and Hong Kong, there
are several companies which was highly recognised from the nation for their excellent
performance and services (Demangeot, Broderick and Craig, 2015). While western companies'
investment in these east Asian corporation then it has to appreciate them for their excellent
performance and similarities. For example, in the Japan, there are very high performance
motorcycles as compare to the other nation. Motorcycle manufacturing also played an important
role in Japan's post war industrial reconstruction. Other western companies should follow as the
truck production and auto mobile production which has used by the Japan (Parker and et.al.,
2013). On the other hand Motorcycles were imported by subsidiaries of the motorcycles
manufactures, independent distributors and individuals. Similar to this pother companies in the
west Asia should follow the motorcycles manufacturing process and independent distribution
(Schmid, Grosche and Mayrhofer, 2016). In the Asian market the growth rate of about the 6.4
percent a year which was forecasted to remain steady for the next several years.
As per the discussion about the east Asian companies, it has founded that The Asian companies
has been adopted the attractive and impressive culture, principle, structure and process of
business through which it can easily diversify its business in to the several areas in an effective
manner. The above companies have very systematic structure of business growth through which
these have earned maximum profitability and goodwill among the various nations. Another
western companies should also follow the same process, principle, culture, methods , concept of
business so as it can also improve their business process and growth.

While executives from western companies consider investment in east Asia then executives have
to appreciate these above similarities and differences because from these similarities and
differences, company can increase the national economic condition and goodwill of the nation as
well. With the help of this similarities and differences, company can increase the profitability
and market share in the market and attract the large number of customers. These similarities and
differences assist companies in developing their won image in the market and enhance the strong
brand image (Parry, 2005). With the help of various culture, structure, principles and process of
business, company can efficiently allocate various resources and utilise them in an effective
manner. For example, NYF was perverted as a franchise , franchise owners bought the right to
operate NYF in different locations. NYF entered Hong Kong in 2009 after Gould received two
different unsolicited request to buy the rights for Hong Kong in 2008.When the first Hong Kong
franchise opened in 2009 the franchises hoped to open 10 location in Hong Kong within the first
five year and then expanded to china since the group had the right to expand into Macau, china
and Taiwan (Smith and et.al., 2012) per this discussion about the NYF it has founded that NYF
has developed its own image in the country by use of effective business process, system,
structure of business etc. Similar to this western companies should have take consideration. NYF
franchise is also appreciated because franchise owner bought the right. With the help of effective
strategy and tactics, company can easily expand its business in the various location. Similar to
this eastern companies should adopt strategy so as it can easily expand its business in the various
location of countries. With the help of effective process, business growth, structure, principles
company can develop its own image and goodwill in the market.
For example, Sony identified three key regions of focus like Asia, Europe and north America and
invested heavily in these markets. Sony increased its international presence by establishing
subsidiaries and manufacturing facilities directly in the regions where it hoped to sell products to
ensure a close connection with customers (Kaynak and Kucukemiroglu, 2015). Positing Sony as
pineer, morita valued its international strategy as more then a financial investment/.So it can be
said that Sony company have adopted the distinguish effective strategy for business expansion
rather then investment of capital. According to this strategy, another companies of eastern Asia
can easily develop growth and expansion of business. It can be said that with the help of
effective business strategy, other company can also build an effective image and growth of
business in the market.
